For Republican's: Lets play "just pretend"

[randym431]

I want to see how reasonable, or not, Bush supporters really are. Lets just pretend that its discovered, the election was actually rigged. SOmehow, via a mix of voting fraud, mass amounts of phony Bush votes thrown into the system, and tampering of the final voter data from ballot scanners before it was reported in. Lets just pretend actual large scale fraud happened, that forces working behind the scene, dark forces, were actually able to change the result of this past election. Lets pretend.... And now I ask, what would you do, think, and want to now happen? What would you want Bush to do, and congress, and your party if such a thing actually happening? What would you think of your leaders?

 

[Stunt]

you arent going to get serious answers....as it is hypothetical
of course they are going to say that they would not approve...but if it actually happened...they'd push it aside like all other anti-bush allegations.

I have rarely seen a staunch republican in these forums speak out against one of bush's policies...not one...as if he is THE perfect president.

Now, what is it rarely or not one? You need more clarity, Stunt...

you would be a not one.

Hold the elections again, what else is there to do? That and bring legal action forward to prosecute any parties deemed responsible.

 

[KMurphy]

I would assume the Democrats did the same thing.

...what would you do

Continue going to work every business day

think

The same that I think about every career politician

want to now happen?

That engineers would get into more than armchair politics

What would you want Bush to do,

Continue on his path right or wrong; he doesn't pander to extremist agenda

and congress

Nothing. It's up to law enforcement personel (not law makers) to handle unlawful acts

and your party

Neither party is innocent; neither is worse than the other

What would you think of your leaders?

Nothing is shocking anymore; I can't stand any career politician and wouldn't want to be one myself.

It boils down to beliefs. I believe the Democratic party panders to the fringes of society; that the typical Democrat loathes personal responsibility and tends to want something from nothing.

While Republicans are not much better, they represent my beliefs much more so than Democrats.

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and was for distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, which she expressed openly.

One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. Based on the lectures that she had participated in and the occasional chat with a professor she felt that for years her father had obviously harbored an evil, even selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He stopped her and asked her point blank, how she was doing in school. She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain. That she studied all the time and never had time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your good friend Mary doing?" She replied, "Mary is barely getting by." She continued, "She barely has a 2.0 GPA," adding, "and all she takes are easy classes and she never studies." "But Mary is so very popular on campus, college for her is a blast, she goes to all the parties all the time and very often doesn't even show up for classes because she is too hung over."

Her father then asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's Office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0." He continued, "That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter visibly shocked by her father's suggestion angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really hard for mine, I did without and Mary has done little or nothing, she played while I worked real hard!"

The father slowly smiled, winked and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Damin, I tried. It takes a lot of imagination. Ouch! I just can't expand my horizons that far. That would be beyond unworldly! Perhaps Arthur C. Clark would have the imagination? No, it wourd take Michael Moore - He could do it! He's done a lot of fantasy! Call him!

I do understand that Kerry is going to Iraq for the elections. I think he is going to focus on the red states this time! Maybe he will do better with a new strategy.

If you want to see a real rigged election, look @ what's happening in the Ukraine, something similar would happen here, rioting, & the elections would be done over.

Do you play "let's pretend" a lot?

Along those same lines, "let's pretend" Kerry really lost fair & square & a bunch of morons ran around screaming the election was rigged because they were so hopelessly clueless & were in fact just plain bad losers that couldn't possibly imagine they were wrong...

What if the Democratic party really has become an ineffective opposition party & was forced to move more centrist?

What if the electorate just gets sick & tired of obstructionist tactics in congress & reduces the ratio of Democrats in congress even further over the next several elections?

You are reading too much into Bush's re-election & need to consider the big picture, we're paying our congress massive sums of $ to squabble in DC, and some of us are tired of watching the bickering & partisanship every fvking day.

 

[upsciLLion]

Why does everyone think republicans are Bush supporters? I'm a republican, not a Bushican. 😛 That's not to say I do or don't support him. If democrats would come up with a decent, moderate candidate that didn't mud sling and had excellent fiscal and SS reform polices, hell I'd probably vote for him.

At any rate, I'm a firm believer in democracy. If the will of the people were to have Kerry in office, I can live with that. Whether he's just tossed in or if elections are held again, I don't know. I'd probably support the former since it would cost far less.

Not a Bush supporter so maybe my opinion doesn't meet your desires but heres my take. Any individual that commits election fraud should be fully prosecuted under the law, and in the case of organized fraud the higher the chain of command, the more severe the punishment. I don't care if it's Bush, Cheney, kerry, or the local volunteer at the polls. They should be tried for TREASON.....

Comments like this are why I respect hardcore Mullahs and Imams more than Republicans. What kind of utterly heartless fool would think that this could explain the huge descrepencies in the amount of poor minorities and poor whites when looking at the sizes of both populations. How could you believe that all poor people are poor because of their laziness and that latent social factors have nothing to do with it? I've never seen a good man the world over believe a thing that. Insha'allah, Hai Ram hopefully the resistance will spread and people will realize what your party and ideology are really about.

 

[LordMagnusKain]

Comments like this are why I respect hardcore Mullahs and Imams more than Republicans.

coments like those are why i don't respect people like you.

I?d be in the streets protesting, Yugoslavia style.

worst came to worst I?d help fight, with deadly force if necessary, to preserve this union... its anti-Christian but I will literally be dead and dammed before I allow this union to fall under my watch.

No military in the world, especially the US military, would fight against a popular uprising as you would see if evidence of a president trying to take control like that surfaced.

I?d expect anarchy and martial law for a while, as the speaker of the house would be set up as president shortly after him and the VP being impeached. A new constitutional convention would probably be healed in order to reestablish procedures to be followed in setting up the executive branch.

I?d imagine we?d create a much weaker executive branch, with more power vested in elected executive officials.

how could you believe that all poor people are poor because of their laziness

I?m poor, the son of poor parents, and friends with both upper middle class and poor families.

The difference between the middle class and poor is simple: how clean is your house?

When your house is in order and your spirit is in order then great things can be accomplished. When your house is dirty and your spirit is in the gutter, even if you are more religious, you're sill going to be held down by the things of this world.

Poor families that struggle to be middle class in America but fail don't have there spiritual houses in order. Rich families may lose this and stay rich, but eventually they will lose the money. 9 out of 10 lottery winners go file for bankruptcy.

Another way to say it is this:
There is a life style choice that goes along with not knowing how to handle finances, pawn shops, spending outside your means, extravagant expenses for social purposes. Credit cards charge 22% apr, pawnshops charge 300% apr, etc.

Being poor isn?t a matter of the poor being lazy, but, for the most part, it is a matter of not pulling yourself up by your own boot straps.

doesn't mean we don't still have a social obligation to make sure that they receive proper food shelter clothing and necessary medical care.

Coming from a pretty poor family, I can tell you that in my experience, they are lazy. Why else would someone go to college for 10 years if not to avoid work?

Well, I guess I ruffled a few feathers with this post. As to the college girl story, I think people confuse things. Sure, everyone should keep what they earn and work for. But at a point you become selfish and petty. We?re not talking giving your hard earned ?whatever? away to people, we?re talking helping people. If you bought a brand new car, and your neighbor had no car, you wouldn?t ?give? your car to them so they could go to the grocery store. But if YOU are going to the grocery store and they ask to tag along with you to do some of their own shopping, that?s being kind. You cant be a miser. Look at Florida, and your tax dollars that went to help those people after all the storms. Isn?t that the way it should be. Bush had no problem going down there and handing out money, well, that too was YOUR money. So, you think he was wrong to do that?

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and was for distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, which she expressed openly.

One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. Based on the lectures that she had participated in and the occasional chat with a professor she felt that for years her father had obviously harbored an evil, even selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He stopped her and asked her point blank, how she was doing in school. She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain. That she studied all the time and never had time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your good friend Mary doing?" She replied, "Mary is barely getting by." She continued, "She barely has a 2.0 GPA," adding, "and all she takes are easy classes and she never studies." "But Mary is so very popular on campus, college for her is a blast, she goes to all the parties all the time and very often doesn't even show up for classes because she is too hung over."

Her father then asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's Office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0." He continued, "That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter visibly shocked by her father's suggestion angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really hard for mine, I did without and Mary has done little or nothing, she played while I worked real hard!"

The father slowly smiled, winked and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

This is the stupidest thing I have ever read in my life.

That was one of the best stories I have ever read in my life. 😀

Unless you are smart enough to realize communism isn't the same as liberalism. Clearly, you are not 😀

Socialism is though😉
